HMRbase accession number | 20177 |
Swiss-prot Accession number | P08689 (Sequence in FASTA format) |
Description | Sex hormone-binding globulin precursor (SHBG) (Sex steroid-bindingprotein) (SBP) (Testis-specific androgen-binding protein) (ABP). |
Source organism | Rattus norvegicus (Rat) |
Taxonomical Classification | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Sciurognathi;Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Rattus. |
Subcellular location | Secreted protein. Note=In testis, it is synthesized by the Sertoli cells, secreted into the lumen of the seminiferous tubule and transported to the epididymis |
Developmental Stage | In the fetal liver, expressed from day 14 to day 17 after conception. |
Similarity | Contains 2 laminin G-like domains. |
Tissue Specificity | Isoform 2 is only expressed in the liver. |
Post translational modification | N/A |
Function | Functions as an androgen transport protein, but may also be involved in receptor mediated processes. Each dimer binds one molecule of steroid. Specific for 5-alpha-dihydrotestosterone, testosterone, and 17-beta-estradiol. Regulates the plasma metabolic clearance rate of steroid hormones by controlling their plasma concentration (By similarity). |
